Selena Gomez Shows Off New Relationship With Benny Blanco
In a photo uploaded to her Instagram story, Selena snuggles up to Benny Blanco on a beachfront boardwalk. Wearing a colorful, fuzzy hoodie, Blanco has his arms around Selena in an endearing hug and is kissing her neck while Selena gazes into the camera, one hand holding onto Benny's wrist.
The pair were also spotted at a Miami Heat basketball game just days later, and were not afraid to show a little PDA. The pair kept in close contact throughout the game, holding hands, linking arms, resting their heads on one another's shoulders. It's safe to say the happy couple has nothing to hide, especially on social media.

Selena Gomez Calls Benny Blanco 'Better Than' All Her Ex's
Back in early December, Selena confirmed her relationship with Benny Blanco through a series of Instagram comments, simultaneously shading all the men she's been with before, including Justin Bieber. It all started when an Instagram account called @PopFactions posted a photo of the pair with the words, "Selena Gomez Is Rumored To Be Dating Producer Benny Blanco," and Selena shocked fans by commenting on the photo, "Facts."
The same day, the Instagram account @SelenaGomezbr2.0 posted a screenshoot of Selena's comment, and Selena commented on this post, too! She adorably wrote, "He is my absolute everything in my heart." She then replied to her own comment with the word "LOVE". So cute, right?
Some fans didn't think so. User @aajosixx replied to Selena's comment and said, "he cursed you, that's not treating you well," to which Selena replied, "then why has he been the best thing that's ever happened to me. The end."
Then, another fan chimed in with, "you're just corny omg that man was shading you years ago," and Selena replied, "lol yeah and he's still better than anyone I've ever been with. Facts."
Benny Blanco Reportedly Shaded New GF Selena Gomez Back In 2020
Interestingly enough, Benny Blanco is friends with Selena's ex-boyfriend, Justin Bieber. In October of 2020, when he and Bieber were collaborating on a new song, "Lonely," he made some comments that many fans think were about Selena Gomez.
"Justin's not one of those cookie-cutter pop artists," he said in an interview with Zach Sang. "Like, you know, they're like, 'This is my new single and here's my makeup line.'" Selena Gomez had just launched her makeup line, Rare Beauty, in September of 2020, and had released her album, Rare, earlier that year.
